TMBG Shirt #57: John Henry World Tour

Not to be confused with John Henry (#22), here's a crew shirt from the album's world tour. The front reads "THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS CREW" with a small breast pocket image of Pearl.

The back proclaims "JOHN HENRY WORLD TOUR" and lists the tour dates and cities spanning exactly a year, starting in St. Louis, MO on September 20, 1994 and ending in Lawrence, KS on September 20, 1995. What a hectic year! 10/17/94 in Red Bank, NJ was my second TMBG show.

TMBG Shirt #56: Dartmouth College

Here's a shirt from a show at Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire on August 14, 1992, about eight months before my first show. It seems that part of the campus building is blasting off like a rocket ship. Far out.

 As you can see, it's another student security shirt. 

MP3 of the Week:
Maybe I Know

Performed as a duo (as usual) at Peter Jay Sharp Theatre in New York City on 12/8/11.

TMBG Shirt #55: Flood

Why is the world in love again?

Why are we marching hand-in-hand?

Why are the ocean levels rising up?

It's a brand new garment for 1990.

They Might Be Giants' brand new t-shirt: Flood!!

Tomorrow marks the twenty-first anniversary of the release of the Brooklyn Ambassadors of Love's best-selling album, which went platinum last year. Happy Birthday, Flood. Finally, you're old enough to drink!

To celebrate one million records sold and two decades of Floodliness, this new shirt was issued. It features the familiar FLOOD logo, seemingly illustrated by a child. The lopsidedness and stray scribbles only add to the charm of this read-between-the-lines retrotastic ringer. Order "Flood on White Ringer" from the TMBG Merch Store and get Flooded today! 

MP3 of the Week:
Istanbul(Not Constantinople)

This is the only Flood song that was performed as a trio (John, John and Marty) at Peter Jay Sharp Theatre in New York City on 12/8/11.

TMBG Shirt #54: The Love Show

Here's a shirt that was designed by our good friend Brian Dewan. On the front, a tiny helicopter hovers over an interesting looking TMBG logo. 

Here's a closer look.

On the back is what's known as the Love Show. John and John are on stage performing a lovely song while some fenced-in fans exude some love of their own. It's a pretty good illustration of a typical They Might Be Giants concert, if you ask me.
